Applying to LA offices for all SA positions?

Will my chances of landing an internship go down significantly if I put their LA offices as my first choice on my applications? I would definitely prefer to spend the summer/rest of my life in LA over New York, but I would be willing to apply to New York locations if that significantly improves my chances...

bullI would imagine it's the other way around...wouldn't you be competing with less people at LA offices?
I agree I'd be competing with fewer people, but if an LA office takes 0-1 interns a year while the NY office takes 30, then I think I'd be at a pretty big disadvantage...
